The New Milky Waya wide-field survey of optical transients near the Galactic plane | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The NMW surveyThe New Milky Way survey aims to detect bright (V<13.5) optical transients near the Galactic plane using an automated wide-field (8x6 deg.) system capable of surveying the whole Milky Way area visible from the observing site in one night. The system is built using low-cost mass-produced components. The transient detection pipeline is based on the open source VaST software. The first results of the survey include the discovery of Nova Sagittarii 2012 No. 1 as well as two X-ray emitting cataclysmic variables 1RXS J063214.8+25362 and XMMSL1 J014956.7+533504. The rapid detection of Nova Sagittarii 2012 No. 1 enabled us to conduct its X-ray and UV observations with Swift 22 hours after discovery (~31 hour after the outburst onset). All images obtained during the transient search survey are available online (please use the image archive access form). The survey parameters are summarized in the table below. A more detailed description may be found in this arXiv e-print.
